This is actually in the fine print in their auction catalogue. Most auction catalogues also indicate to the auction houses' representations and warranties in connection with the originality of the pieces they auction as well as their liabilities in connection with fraud. More people should try reading before they bid because once you bid, you have to live with the disclosure. FRANC

This article is bizarre, in it the President of Heritage admits that they have been using a shill (s?) to bid on their auctions, but is actually quoted as claiming that it is not only legal, but that there is nothing "unethical" about it Huh? So, lemme get this straight... War is Peace? Lies are Truth? Have we really got to that point in the corporate culture when the President of a company will actually spew bare-faced garbage like that in public? I hope the court crucifies them -- not for shilling, but for brazenly claiming "there ain't nuthin' wrong wid it." Of course, they've only be using the one shill. Right?
